This is The End

Desmond1979

Fertiliser Production at an all-time low, not helped by the conflict in Iran. And, of course, China is playing War-Games by curbing imports of it.

When will this country, ever, question the Special Relationship? It has always been give, for us, and take, for the States. But, as long as they enjoy The Beatles and Monty Python, everything's fine; right?

The Blob feeds off the System. Fobbing the Worker off, with Phoney Degrees, and Phoney Jobs. We're up to our Oxters in debt. And either have to pay for, or depend on, benefits.

Angela Rayner could well be The Left's Malibu Stacey; with a New Hat. Abandon Hope all ye, who enter here!

  • I've got a BA in History and a Creative Writing MA, which I'm sure many people on the political right would class as "phoney", but they were hard won, and deeply, deeply rewarding. 

    Farage traded metals futures - he's never produced anything meaningful. I think an artist or a poet, scraping by on a low income supplemented by teaching and part-time jobs for instance is doing something far less phoney. It's easy to imagine a world without speculators, pretty grim to imagine one without culture.

    Do you have anything made with metal? If so you have to thank Farage for being part of the supply system that it possible for you to have the stuff you enjoy.

    No, he was a futures trader. He gambled other peoples money on the price fluctuations in the metals market, and took commission from his speculation.

    A job he secured through nepotism. The brokerage he later  set up went bankrupt in 1990, taking client money with it.

    Essentially parasitic on the metals industry, not integral to it. We don't thank bookmakers for the pleasure we might get from watching sport, do we?

    He added nothing meaningful to the process. I'm certainly grateful for people involved in metal production and distribution. But not Farage.
